A 66-year-old woman with aquaporin-4-positive neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder presented with painful spasms 1 month after her first episode of longitudinally extensive transverse myelitis. Read more: hubs.la/Q03fFWg40 #NeurologyRF #NMOSD

Delighted to share Cacciaguerra et al study ➡️ MRI guidelines in MS recommend 2 sagittal-T2 spine images but axial is optional ➡️ Here, axial-T2 found 2x more lesions vs sagittal ➡️ Thus, future guidelines should recommend both sagittal & axial images👇 link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Delighted to share Dinoto et al study on late onset MOGAD (50 yrs or more) ➡️ Accounts for 25% of MOGAD ➡️ Optic neuritis dominates & often misdiagnosed as ischemic (NAION or temporal arteritis) ➡️ Outcomes favorable & similar to other age groups 👇 neurology.org/doi/10.1212/WN…

A fantastic course organized by Rosa Cortese and Alvino Bisecco, featuring brilliant speakers and some of the best students. AINI Summer School Neuroimaging in Neuroimmunology Siena – 17–18 July 2025 The charm of the Tuscan landscape was the cherry on top! NINA - Italian Autoimmune Neurology Network

The AINI Summer School on Neuroimaging in Neuroimmunology that took place in the beautiful Siena (July, 17-18) was definitely a success! An interactive approach to the use of conventional and advanced MRI in autoimmune encephalitis, MS, NMOSD and MOGAD! 💣💣💣

A great educational event with top-tier speakers and outstanding student participation! Good job!

🇮🇹 I progressi nel neuroimaging migliorano diagnosi e trattamenti precoci. Il 17-18 luglio 2025, 32 giovani medici si sono riuniti a Siena per un workshop su tecniche convenzionali e avanzate di RM. TSF ha sostenuto l’evento con 5 borse. Congratulazioni a tutti!

Yogeshwar et al. present clinical and MRI data from 127 patients with anti-IgLON5 disease. They show brain atrophy patterns that closely mirror sites of autoantibody binding and tau accumulation, with the location of atrophy linked to specific symptoms. tinyurl.com/3u4ufv2z

Open for applications! The 4th ECTRIMS Winter School in January 2026 will focus on advances in the diagnosis and treatment of #NMOSD and #MOGAD. Learn more about the programme 👉 bit.ly/3SjqKwI Application deadline: 1 Sept 2025 #ECTRIMSNextGen #MSResearch

In women with multiple sclerosis, disease-modifying therapy management during pregnancy increased relapse risk, particularly in patients receiving natalizumab with prolonged interruption or fingolimod. ja.ma/4l96RUo christine lebrun frenay

Anti-CD20s are the most efficient strategy to prevent relapses in pregnancy and post-partum, followed by natalizumab used up to the end of second trimester and rapidly resumed. @ofsep
